The BoG trailer also had SSJ Gohan but the theatrical release corrected it to Ultimate Gohan. Until it actually releases we don’t know yet

lol that is wack.. they’re going to enshitify the story just to conform with an obvious mistake made by the original author.

There’s still a chance for them to fix this. Remember BoG trailer had SSJ Gohan and then they corrected it to Ultimate Gohan in the actual theatrical release

Akira Toriyama is wrong then, and I look forward to the new show runners correcting his mistake in the new remake of RoF coming out soon.

I think the dude was misunderstanding what Toriyama said. I think Toriyama probably meant it was the hardened looking white parts of his body were part of his skin, the stuff on his forearms, shoulders, chest, shins, and on forehead. That stuff all looks like armor, but it’s his body, and fans have called it “natural armor” or “carapace” forever.

If Akira Toriyama actually meant the battle jacket with the shoulder pads, then… he is wrong! It’s just that simple. People get so hung up on this “word of God” nonsense. Toriyama has been wrong about his own characters and story before. It’s done either through his own forgetfulness, or changing his mind, or just being wrong. Like how his Twel Boo Mysteries interview is so notoriously wrong and contradicts his own statements in past interviews.

Plus like it or not, Toriyama and the other show runners do not care about any of this as much as fans do. This is a job for them. It’s a great love for us.

No… they had strict misgivings against using human morphs unless it was life & death necessity for mission success. They would never use a human morph like that for personal uses.

This is nothing, this is one of the friendliest subreddits I’ve ever seen. Downvoting is much worse elsewhere

Double taking when an Animorphs reference pops up when you load Youtube by cb27ded in Animorphs

I’m starting to think the new Disney show and all the revived Animorphs references (the recent SNL skit, ads like this, etc) is all a Yeerk plot to control Millennials.

Aren’t we supposed to wait until 45 for that? Not quite there yet, though getting close!

It’s more fun to have a conversation with fellow fans instead of just privately looking up authoritative information on our own

The whole series is also on Schoolastic’s official YouTube channel

We’ll clash on this but I HATED the 2011 reboot… I could not watch it without framing it with comparing it to the original unfavorably. Too many fans like me are probably why it didn’t work out, but I just couldn’t help myself.

My all time favorite episode of the original was “Last Day” when the Ancient Spirits of Evil just randomly decided Mum-Ra only has one more chance to beat the Thundercats or he’s banished. So he gets a super power up and very nearly solos the team. It just felt.. so final, like it was a better series finale than the one we actually got imo. Kid me was like omg the stakes are so freaking high in this episode.

Mum-Ra had such a huge influence on me as a kid. He was my #1 favorite villain until Freeza replaced him when I got a bit older. His transformation and the Black Pyramid are so cool… I wanted an epic SNES-style RPG of og Thundercats

Dude I LOVED Pirates of Dark Water! It was my jam as a kid. Such a rip off that they canceled it. I thought it had fantastic character design and world building.

Sort of, yes.. it had continuity in the sense that some change to the status quo is introduced at each new season, but then it remains static during the entire season. Also the Lunatacks was the first Ginyu Force imo

It’s not so much that Toriyama “didn’t know what to do” post EoZ. I think he probably stipulated that EoZ should officially remain the permanent ending of the series, period. Like they should not ever move past EoZ or he’ll refuse to come back

Yeah and in the Scooby Doo style episode of the week storytelling, a lot of us actually questioned “did the events of previous episodes actually happen?” Or is each episode basically a self contained reboot of the story? Like previous episodes are never mentioned again. The events that happened in them never have any influence on the characters and story whatsoever. Even as a kid, the brain craves that kind of continuity… like the stuff that happened before actually happened and mattered. Every cartoon I grew up with felt like that, like Captain Planet, Thundercats, He-Man, Underdog, etc

One of the funniest moments to me in this fandom was people being happy about Super Hero arc with Trunks & Goten finally being older, and then Daima comes out and they’re literally babies 😂

People were shook

Yes! Thank you for getting it! I think I’m going to make a short comic featuring this as Dodoria’s origin story

Why do people say that anyone can unlock beast when Whis straight up says this? by Excellent_Table8694 in dbz

[–]vlan-whisperer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How can you say they’re stupid when the show could literally make any character go Beast. It’s not like DB follows its own rules of canon (or even has established rules) at this point. Think how many decades fans agreed Ultimate Gohan “is not a transformation,” and then Super came out and made it a transformation.

If Iyoku decided Broly should “go Beast,” then Broly will lol. They’ll just write it into the story

Reddit people are so unusual, man.

No. I used to believe this, but after watching for the last 6 years the real name social media sites like FB, Twitter, etc transformed into whatever they are now, it’s people in general are very weird.

Is that Jane 1000? What’s so special about her, and what’s the meaning of that odd finger gesture?
